“It was an honor to have shared one of the best practices of our province, our paperless session during a national gathering of legislators”, thus said Vice Governor Santiago B. Cane, Jr. after he delivered a lecture on the 9th Academic Course on Local Legislation under Diploma in Local Governance and Development for the League of the Vice Governors of the Philippines on March 13-15, 2012 at the Heritage Hotel Manila, Pasig City.

The Development Academy of the Philippines’ Center for Governance in partnership with the DAP’s Graduate School in Public and Development Management is running the major courses of the Diploma in Local Governance and Development for the League of Vice Governors of the Philippines (LVGP).

One of the objectives of the course on Local Legislation is to gain insights on the provincial government’s best practice in process and systems in the field of Local Legislation. And Agusan del Sur as recognized on July 14, 2010 by the Department of the Interior and Local Government as the Home of the First Paperless Session in the Philippines has paved the way to a new era in local legislation in the country.
